Foliage plants

Whenever we select plants for our garden, we often look for plants with the most beautiful flowers. In the case of Foliage plants, this is different. It is not their flowers that make these plants so special, but their leaves. This does not make them any less beautiful. In our web shop, you can find a large range of different foliage plants. We are specialised in exotic plants. The products in our store will not be found elsewhere easily. Do you want to provide an exotic touch to your garden? In that case, we certainly recommend having a look at the various products in our web shop.

Decorative and practical advantages of foliage plants

• Foliage plants are ornamental due to their remarkable leaves. This could be due to their shape as well as their colours.
• They are easy to combine with other plants. That way, you can strike a balance between flowering plants, palm trees, container plants in combination with foliage plants. You can easily create a colour contrast, making all of your plants stand out even more.
• By placing a few taller varieties on various locations in your gardens, you can create a sense of harmony in your own garden.
• You do not only have to choose large foliage plants, but there are also options with red or blueish-green leaves.
• Most foliage plants require very little maintenance.
• Foliage plants also need relatively little care.
• Aside from providing the right amount of water, you generally only have to remove dead leaves in Fall.
• You can also use them as a border plant.
• Foliage plants are still beautiful during fall and winter. Leaves generally remain visible significantly than flowers, after all.

Caring for foliage plants

Foliage plants are not only visually pleasing, but with the right care, they also keep their lush appearance. Place foliage plants at a location with filtered or indirect light, avoid direct sunlight to prevent sunburn. Keep the soil humid, but avoid overwatering. They grow best with the right fertilizer as well. An organic fertilizer is preferred; apply it in Spring and Summer to fertilise the soil. A lot of foliage plants are self-cleaning, meaning they drop their old leaves off themselves. You only have to clean up the dropped leaves. If you have a foliage plant that is not self-cleaning, you can prune brown leaves in Spring. By following the afore mentioned steps, you can help your plant thrive. That way, they add natural beauty to your surroundings.

Garden plants with large leaves have become popular

Industrial and rural interior styles have become more popular over the years. These interior styles often use black, white and grey in combination with natural colours. Foliage plants fit extremely well within these styles. Especially Monstera, Fatsia and banana plants are popular. Did you know that green leaves are an important supplier of oxygen? Photosynthesis is responsible for that. That is why it is nice to have a few foliage plants – so you can enjoy their air purifying functions. They are not only beautiful to look at, but they are also great for your wellbeing!
